U.S. taxpayers soon may be forced to hand their money over to international groups that promote or perform abortions.
Fox News reports President Barack Obama will reverse the "Mexico City Policy" by executive order Thursday, the 36th anniversary of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.
Seventy-seven members of Congress have asked Obama to keep the policy in place.
"In these difficult economic times, the American people would not want us funding groups that are trying to export abortion around the world," their letter reads.
The policy, which prevents U.S. funds from supporting abortion overseas, was put in place by President Ronald Reagan, reversed by President Bill Clinton and reinstated by President George W. Bush.
